Can a South Korean sole proprietor obtain an Artifact Signing VBS Enclave certificate profile?
Hello Microsoft Artifact Signing team,
I am an individual developer based in South Korea, developing a Windows desktop application that uses VBS enclaves. I have not registered a business yet. Before registering a sole proprietorship and paying for Artifact Signing, I need to confirm eligibility for production VBS enclave signing.
The current documentation lists South Korea as supported for organizations, limits individual developers to the United States and Canada, and describes an Organization/DBA identity-validation route.
Please confirm:
Can a registered South Korean sole proprietor, without an incorporated company, pass Organization → Public identity validation?
If approved, can that identity create a production VBS Enclave certificate profile, specifically for enclave DLL signing?
Are a Korean National Tax Service Business Registration Certificate or Business Registration Status Certificate accepted? Is an English version or certified translation required?
Are there minimum business-age or domain-age requirements for a newly registered sole proprietorship?
Should the organization name be the registered trade name or the proprietor's legal name, and which business identifier field should contain the Korean business registration number?
If a South Korean sole proprietor is not eligible, what supported route is available for production VBS enclave signing?

Please provide confirmation from a Microsoft representative or the Artifact Signing identity-validation team. General Authenticode certificate alternatives would not resolve the specific VBS enclave signing requirement.
This is a pre-registration eligibility inquiry. I do not yet have an identity-validation request ID.
